Aging at home, within one’s community, is what most seniors hope for. That is why the City of Kirkland has chosen to partner with Répit-Ressource, a non-profit organization specializing in home support services, to provide eligible senior residents with easier access to compassionate, local services.
How does it work?
Répit-Ressource services are already available at a reduced rate through the government’s PEFSAD program, a financial assistance program subsidized by the RAMQ. Through this partnership, the City of Kirkland goes even further by covering the remaining costs for eligible residents who need additional support.
